Solar cell performance research

What are the prospects of solar cell technology?

The prospects of various solar cell technologies are promising but differ in focus. Silicon-based solar cells continue to evolve, with prospects for improved efficiency and cost reduction through advanced materials and manufacturing techniques.

How efficient are solar cells?

Solar cells of this kind, characterized by reduced material usage, lower manufacturing costs, and flexibility, typically achieve conversion efficiencies ranging from 6% to 15% (Jaiswal et al., 2022).

Which solar cells have the highest power conversion efficiency?

Planar designs now hold the record for the highest power conversion efficiency in perovskite solar cells . Planar perovskite films offer excellent charge carrier mobility, frequently surpassing 20 cm 2 /Vs, particularly in devices using mixed halide perovskites.

What is NREL's research-cell efficiency chart?

NREL maintains a chart of the highest confirmed conversion efficiencies for research cells for a range of photovoltaic technologies, plotted from 1976 to the present. Learn how NREL can help your team with certified efficiency measurements. Access our research-cell efficiency data. Or download the full data file or data guide.

How efficient are silicon solar cells in the photovoltaic sector?

The photovoltaic sector is now led by silicon solar cells because of their well-established technology and relatively high efficiency. Currently, industrially made silicon solar modules have an efficiency between 16% and 22% (Anon (2023b)).

Will PV module efficiency increase in the near future?

At present, a cell with an area of 79 cm 2 has already demonstrated a PCE of 26.7%, and a cell with an area of 180 cm 2 (which would be a truly amazing size for other PV technologies) reached a PCE of 26.6%. These cell results lead us to anticipate that the module efficiency will also increase in the near future.
